A saint is a term to refer to someone who is a holy person. The term originates with the Christian Roman Catholic church, but has grown to be used and accepted in other Christian, religious, and even secular contexts — to refer to those who are considered to be exceptionally virtuous. Hence a "saint" (cont. with sinner) is a (usually deceased) person whose life is regarded by a community as a good example, and their life story is remembered for sake of inspiring others. Note well that Saints are never worshipped (worship is reserved for God alone), but instead are venerated (see veneration), respected, and viewed as role models.

Abbreviation for the term Saint is usually “St.” or “St”; in cases where multiple Saints are referenced SS. is the norm.
